Sophia, I wouldn't worry about it. If there was going to be a short and snap crackle pop stuff it would have happened right away. IMO

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because the truth is, some of what Oprah promotes isn't good, and a lot of the advice her guests dispense on the show is just bad. The Suzanne Somers episode wasn't an oddball occurrence. This kind of thing happens again and again on Oprah. Some of the many experts who cross her stage offer interesting and useful information (props to you, Dr. Oz). Others gush nonsense. Oprah, who holds up her guests as prophets, can't seem to tell the difference. She has the power to summon the most learned authorities on any subject; who would refuse her? Instead, all too often Oprah winds up putting herself and her trusting audience in the hands of celebrity authors and pop-science artists pitching wonder cures and miracle treatments that are questionable or flat-out wrong, and sometimes dangerous.
The article is long-ish and critical.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
How about some fruit, msbelle?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Have you guys heard of creaky voice? I just realized I totally do it. And I don't like it!

Spare Cat "lost" her e-collar yesterday -- gone, as in we think she slipped out of the house and burned it, or whatever. So today I went to the pet store and brought home an inflatable e-collar (think one of those inflatable traveler's pillows, only it closes like a donut). Let's see her get out of this....

Um... does she by chance have claws?
My roommate's cat (the internationally famous Boogs the cat) once punched holes in my waterbed with his claws....

Huh, it looks like we all own a car company now that GM is going into Bankruptcy. Except for you non-American types, you all have to buy your own car company, sorry.
I also saw that Chrysler's assets got sold off this weekend. Bye-bye Chrysler, hello Chrysler Group LLC.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'll be curious to see how Ford does with bringing over it's European models.
